The water of Merom or waters of Merom is a Biblical site, mentioned in the Book of Joshua as the site of the Battle of the Waters of Merom where the alliance of Canaanite kings under Jabin met and were defeated during Joshua's conquest of Canaan.[1][2]
Location
[edit | edit source]The "waters of Merom" used to be identified with a lake ten miles north of the Sea of Galilee, formed by the River Jordan.[3]
The "waters of Merom" were previously thought to be Lake Hula, but this is disputed and the name was more likely to apply to a spring or stream in the area.[4][5]
The Horns of Hittin is an alternative location suggested by Zvi Gal in 1988.[6]
